“Personally, I’m really against the death penalty. No one has the right to take [away] life kasi isa lang naman ang nagbigay ng buhay e. Siya lang ang may karapatan na mag-take ng life. Humans don’t have the right to take something na hindi naman nila ibinigay.”
-Christian Apego, 4th year, Accountancy
“Oo, [dapat ibalik ang death penalty] para madisiplina ang mga tao. Sana `yung gumawa [ng pagpatay kay Cyrish Magalang ay] parusahan talaga ng death penalty para naman matuto 'yung iba.”
-Acaya Ganabat, 1st year, Hospitality and Restaurant Management
“Yes, I think they should revive death penalty. Walang pangil ang batas sa Pilipinas kaya walang takot ang mga tao dito. Sa opinyon ko, panahon na para disiplinahin tayo. We should all be responsible for our acts.”
-Claire Lopez, 3rd year, Information Technology
“Yes. Kasi malaki [ang] possibility na mababawasan `yung bilang ng krimen. Death penalty should be `yung tipong painless or hindi `yung tipong tino-torture na `yung tao.”
-Chrissie Reyes, 3rd year, Nutrition
“No matter what the reason is, imposing death penalty on someone, even on the most notorious of all, wouldn't make a humane act … it's better to impose life imprisonment. That way, they (criminals) will suffer a lifetime for the crimes they had committed.”
-Lhara Llapitan, 3rd year, Medical Technology
“I think the imposition of death penalty should be brought back kasi sobrang rampant na ang reasons kung bakit nagco-commit ng crime ang isang tao. Para matakot din ang mga tao in trying to commit a crime. Some people would prefer to be in prison because they do not have any work outside.”
-Willard Yung, 1st year, Civil Law
“I think death penalty isn't the answer. Yes, a person killed another, but taking more lives isn't really the answer. Who are we to decide? Only God has the right to choose whether we should live or die.”
-Samantha Padua, 3rd year, Advertising
Death penalty should be revived because it would bring justice to … the persons involved and the whole family of the victim.
-Hans Lagman, 3rd year, Advertising
